Irving Berlin. who turned 99 years old this past May. has captured the hearts of the American people for over threequarters of a century. While I realize that it is unusual to introduce a resolution honoring a living person. I believe that Irving Berlin deserves a national acknowledgment of our appreciation for his talent. Mr. Berlin emigrated from Russia with his family at the age of 5. and became a resident of the Lower East Side of New York City. His father died when he was 8 years old and Mr. Berlin was forced to leave school to contribute to the support of his family.
